Just as well I wasn’t riding a fat bike. I’d never have got thru that gap..,,

Apologies, second one of the day, but I enjoyed some chilled beer tonight at one of the country's best pubs. Fortunately it's just a five-minute ride from home.

Yes, empties, but it wasn't me who drank their contents. I merely helped out a little with another barrel tonight.

In case you're wondering, it's The Bridge Inn at Topsham. Well worth a visit.

If I'm ever down that part of the world, will be sure to give it a try. Cheers!

Was curious about the "insurgent country" singer playing there. That is a musical genre that has passed me by....

Occasionally locals Steve Knightley and Phil Beer (aka Show Of Hands) do a gig here... rather amusing, as they can pack the Royal Albert Hall when they choose to play in London.

Out & about today, just 'pottering' really
'Caleb Crowthers Almhouses'
George Street
Wakefield

Built for (chosen) poor who worshipped here; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/660615




There's another Crowthers Almshouses in Ackworth, but attributed to a Mary
I have no idea if any family connection?



'Chantry Chapel'
(officially; Saint Mary On The Bridge)
One of only 4 remaining Bridge Chapels in the country

I first heard them on the 'Radcliffe & Maconie Show', when they guested during Mark & Stuarts 'Jurassic Coast Walk' (a mixture of live & recorded broadcast)


EDIT @ 14:54
I've just checked my old photo-files, & the Ackworth Almshouses are 'Lowthers', not 'Crowthers'
Easy mistake...............

More Topsham...

Just a local 'potter' again, today
Out on the CGR, as I knew I'd be venturing onto tow-paths

After heading out of town, I utilised a very short section of the 'Wakefield Wheel', from Station Road, to Altofts Hall Road, by heading in a northerly direction here; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1405344
Once in Altofts, it was past St Marys Church (where we got married) & a right turn, down Foxholes Lane to the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal

Towpath/Birkwood Lock access road
Looking in opposite direction; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/509906



Birkwood Lock



A substantial stone-constructed culvert that runs under Canal, adjacent to the Birkwood Road bridge, over the Canal
Under this parapet; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1843521



Birkwood Road Bridge
My commute-route to work crosses it
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1401303


A marker stone by the bridge
I'm not sure what the '29' signifies



The two Aquaducts
The bow-bridge is the older, & dates to 1839
Grade 1 listing too

Out on the roadie, first springlike day for a while, still a nasty old wind but lovely to see blue skies and mostly unbroken sunshine.

BT's Morborne Hill radio mast (the concrete one) that's a separate lattice tower behind it. (Cambridgeshire).

 

[Mojonaut]

Same ride as tower photo above, along the way I met Mike Dooley out near Lutton and The Giddings (Cambs), rode alongside and had a chat, found he was cycling from Middlesbrough to Australia!

He has a Facebook page for anyone interested in his progress.

Whitstable harbour today.

A narrow alley.

Apparently they don't sell beer....

 

[swee'pea99]

Don't look now, but I think it might be spring at last....

A marker stone by the bridge

It's not the bridge number because it's Altofts Bridge, Number 3, more info here, more likely to be a distance marker, I'm guessing to the Ouse at Goole
